CHOCOLATE FOR VEGETARIANS

Early day motion 1486, tabled 16 May 2007 by David Drew (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House is appalled at the decision taken by Masterfoods to begin using animal rennet to produce the whey required for making the ingredients included in chocolate, rather than the vegetarian alternative; notes that this means that vegetarians can no longer eat Mars Bars, Snickers, Maltesers and Milky Way; recognises that this is purely a cost-cutting exercise and clearly discriminates against vegetarians; and asks the company to reconsider its decision as a matter of urgency.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
